Aliens: Colonial Marines, developed by Gearbox Software and published by Sega, is the latest title to be added to the list of Alien-inspired games - but does it live up to all the hype that was created before release?
Too many games aren't given a second shot. We at VGU choose which games we would love to see receive a sequel.
The Saboteur - criminally underrated and a fantastic mechanic of bringing colour back to Nazi-occupied Paris.
The article lists Bulletstorm, Sleeping Dogs, and Aliens: Colonial Marines.
Player 2 takes some quiet time to look back at some of the most hyped failures of the past 10 years.
Can't argue with any of those really, but I would add Resident Evil Operation Racoon City and Metal Gear Survive to that list. Both terrible games from good franchises.
Bulletstorm, I actually liked the gameplay but the atrocious writing and characters made me despise the game by the end of it.
Thanks to a bustling mod community on Steam, Gearbox's Aliens: Colonial Marines actually has a stellar multiplayer experience to offer these days.
Games TM Mag gave it a 4 out of 10

Mines due in the post today, I may have to avoid reviews until I've completed it so I'm not going in knowing what's apparently shit about it and see if these faults stand out to me when I'm not aware of what they are...
Like i said in a previous article gearbox got lucky with borderlands 1. The games after it have been pretty shit...
It will still be fun for huge Alien fans. I loved the AvP from 2010, even though it had many flaws. A couple of my friends already have it, and one of them said it was pretty average.
I don't care for reviews much, as I'll still enjoy it. For those who aren't big Aliens fans, it is probably a bargain bin buy.
Its a shame that this game will probably be crap. I miss the good old days of AVP2 which was a fantastic game in my opinion.
BTW wasn't this game suppose to have amazing visuals? Which is why its disappointing that while the Wii U might have the best console version of this game the graphics are still crap and nowhere near next gen as they claimed.
